He's a true difference-maker who can score anytime he has the ball. Last season this playmaking 5-foot-10 185-pounder showed impressive burst, explosion, balance, vision, and agility all year long.

A natural athlete and a promising back, it's easy to see why offers are rolling in after a big 2023 season. He's becoming one of the top running back prospects across the state regardless of class, and he's bound for another gigantic season this fall as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='682106' first='Chad' last='Fairchild']<a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/chad-fairchild-2/"></a> – LB – Lovejoy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2026 linebackers south of Atlanta, Fairchild is a hard-hitting run-stuffer with good instincts, burst, and the ability to wrap up properly.

He also shows a high motor in [pursuit of the back. Fairchild also holds offers from Georgia State, Troy, Georgia Southern, Indiana, UCF, and Pitt.
